Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />Portable Message Board <br />The Public Works Department would like to discuss the eventual purchase a trailer mounted <br />message board to replace the existing truck mounted message board on vehicle 210. A trailer <br />mounted unit would be more versatile, allowing placement of the message board within work <br />zones or along roadways without removing a vehicle from use as occurs with a truck mounted <br />message board. The estimated cost of a trailer mounted message board is between $15,000 and <br />$17,000 depending on model equipment. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />Public Works staff recommends restructuring the Capital Improvement Program for equipment <br />purchases to allow for early replacement of the snow plow Unit 210 by delaying the <br />replacements of other vehicles as described in Attachment A. The tables provided on <br />Attachment A provide the annual and total five-year financial impact for the current CIP and an <br />alternative equipment replacement schedule for consideration by the Council. Staff requests <br />direction from the City Council regarding the following item. <br /> <br />1. Support for early replacement of the International Plow Truck Unit 120 beginning in 2020 <br /> <br />2. Replacement of Units 203, 210 and 435 as currently scheduled for 2020 <br /> <br />3. Modifications of the replacement schedules for other vehicles as shown on Appendix A <br /> <br />4. Cash flow of the existing and alternative equipment replacement schedules on Appendix A <br /> <br />5.
